body cleanse

Toxin elimination regimen

A body cleanse is a regimen intended to rid the body of toxins or impurities, typically involving restricted diets, fasting, supplements, or increased fluid intake.

The concept draws from alternative health traditions rather than mainstream medicine, which generally regards the liver and kidneys as sufficient detoxifiers: She's doing a seven-day body cleanse.

Also called a detox.
